Islam in Fiji | Inside a Muslim Village in the Pacific Islands

Описание: Islam in Fiji | Inside a Muslim Village in the Pacific Islands

Fiji—a tropical paradise in the South Pacific famous for beaches and coral reefs. Yet this remote archipelago is home to 60,000 Muslims (7% of population), descended from indentured laborers brought from India over 130 years ago.

This documentary takes you inside Muslim villages in Fiji—from Ba town on Viti Levu to remote communities on Vanua Levu. We explore how Islam survived and thrived in Pacific island isolation, the girmitiya legacy, daily life in Muslim villages, and the challenges facing this unique community.

In this documentary, we examine:

The girmitiya legacy: Indentured laborers from India (1879-1916)
Inside a Muslim village: Daily life in Ba and Nasinu
Mosques across the islands: From Suva to remote villages
Indo-Fijian Muslim identity: Blending Indian, Islamic, and Pacific cultures
Language, food, and traditions adapted to tropical islands
Challenges: Economic struggles, land tenure, emigration
Indigenous Fijian converts to Islam
The future of Islam in the Pacific Islands
